This research data will form part of my entry submission for the Singularity UniversityGlobal Impact Competition. In short, my submission will outline how COMEDY UNLIMITED reg. can have a positive impact on 1 million Australians within a 3 year period and then grow exponentially to impact 1 billion people globally within a 10 year period.

What I need from my comrades THE HOOD ... ( You know who you are ...my brothers and sisters )

I'm on a cruise from the 5th -14th of March and will be finalising my entry during that time.

Luckily for me , three quarters of my submission is already completed and it's just down to filming a short promo and finalising the data and we're good to go.

All assistance will be publicly acknowledged and credited.

AND THEN THERE"S THIS :

Please support our bid to become an Industry Partner with The Griffith Health Institute here on the Gold Coast.

Professor Lyn Griffith's the Director of the Griffith Health Institute recently became aware of and interested in what we are hoping to achieve in regards to being able to supply quantitative research to the government to prove that implementing this business model will have a positive impact in helping to address societal stress, depression and suicides.

The flow on benefit to the government is the effect it will have on the national health budget, not to mention that surely a happier healthier society is going to be a more productive one.

It's very, very early days but this all fits into our bid for the Singularity University Global Impact Competition. The synergy is there, so we're going with it for the moment....

Thank you in advance for any assistance or support you may be able to offer.
